God's Perfect Timing

I have often shared with you that I seem to either run ahead of God or lag behind. I will also tell you that I am not special (though I want to be!)…most people are just like me. We wonder why God waits until the money is gone; why he waits until the sickness has lingered; why prayers for healing are often answered on the other side of the grave. Well, in the midst of all these questions, this I do know: God’s timing is always right. He is never early, and never late. As the McKameys sang several years ago, “He’s right on time!” Here is our hope: though you hear nothing, God is speaking. Though you see nothing, his hand is moving. With God there are no accidents or coincidence, every incident is designed to draw us closer to him. And here’s our challenge: to surrender to our Savior so totally that we not only wait on God, but we work to further the Kingdom using God’s timing, not ours.
